Why is Finnish again link?! Earlier decisition was: don't use linking with meta words (common language names, "noun", "verb" ect). What does this "Finnish # Noun" mean?! Should we mark Finnish nouns with this? How should we mark verbs, adjectives? Any information how to continue editing?! I am confused about what to do because where are no clear _rules_ how to construct multilingual system... Aulis Eskola 15:46, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)


 * It's just a mistake, and a pretty misleading one at that.
 * The point of linking language names is to link to the definition of the language for people that don't know about it (and the point of adding #Noun is to link directly to the section that defines it — which is a mistake in Finnish itself, because "Finnish" is a proper noun). But Finnish is a known-enough language name to not be linked here, so I removed the link.
 * The point of these templates is that some people want to make it easier to copy =Translations= sections across wiktionaries, but don't know their native names for the individual languages (or don't want to do the work of rewriting them), so instead of writing  *Finnish: hukka , they'd write  : hukka . —Muke Tever 18:23, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
